Ah but new tech always has been ruining us

Wait did Socrates really say that?

God he'd absolutely hate me. I can't memorize anything, but I can seemingly learn everything

We also have a lot more knowledge than we used to. Socrates didn't have to remember about molecular metabolization pathways or the energy transition of a turbium atom, or what the arbitrary name has been given to a medium coffee at Starbucks.

Except this is young fashionable people whinging about old people have the ringer setting on...

While the concert and wedding are events where you should turn off your ringer, it's certainly true that phones can ring at inconvenient times. A big enough problem to outweigh the benefit of being able to check in, find people, call for help, etc. from nearly anywhere? Absolutely not, but it's still a pretty accurate prediction.

I don't think this is the point of the comic, but rather make some humorous speculation of a tech future.

Sure but AI will wreck us worse than all of them.
